Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Late at night, at the Xu family home.

The kang (heated brick bed) was burning hot, making the whole room warm and cozy.

Su Mei was dressed very little, which highlighted her exquisite figure, and there were even fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Although the room was very warm, Xu Damao's heart was ice-cold.

The old doctor's words kept echoing in his mind.

Kidney deficiency, weak sperm.

He understood both words. If it were someone else, Xu Damao would have at least had a couple of drinks to liven things up.

But if it happened to him, he would feel extremely uncomfortable.

I'm a guy in my early twenties!

This whole thing is ridiculous!

Su Mei smiled brightly as she looked at Xu Damao, who was hiding under the covers and crying alone.

She could understand her husband's suffering, but since the old doctor said it could be cured, she should cooperate fully. Who would she be trying to impress by causing him to die?

So she slowly took off her clothes and then uncovered Xu Damao's blanket.

Xu Damao slowly opened his tear-filled eyes.

He was fine when he didn't open his eyes, but once he did, he couldn't take his eyes off them and his mouth became dry.

He immediately realized what was happening, covered his eyes with his right hand, and said in a trembling voice:

"Meizi, honey, what are you doing? The old doctor said I need to abstain from sex for six months. You're putting me in a difficult position..."

Koh Samui smiled knowingly:

"Da Mao, if you quit eating it again tomorrow, I want to reward you properly tonight."

Xu Damao thought it made sense. It would be so painful not to be able to plow the land for half a year. So let's plow one mu of land today.

So he let out a howl and pounced on it.

He said he was only cultivating one acre of land, but Su Mei wasn't about to let him off so easily; she kept him up until the middle of the night.

The same thing happened in Da Hu's house. Tonight, he was plowing the last acre of land, and he plowed for most of the night.

Inside Zhang Shih-hao's room, he felt a bit restless as he listened to the faint sounds coming from next door.

Before Zhang Shih-hao could react, Tong Chin-feng took action, her tone gentle yet firm:

"Brother Hao, let me do it, you get some rest..."

Zhang Shih-hao slowly closed his eyes, and in his comfort, he couldn't help but utter two words:

"Oh yeah~"

After a long while, Tong Jinfeng got up to rinse her mouth, then gently nestled in Zhang Shihao's arms and softly said:

"Brother Hao, I want to too..."

Zhang Shih-hao smiled knowingly in the darkness:

"Jin Feng, you really know how to have fun!"

After saying that, he got up and climbed to the foot of the bed.

Tong Jinfeng closed her eyes comfortably and slowly uttered two words:

"Oh no~"

The neighbors in the courtyard were unaware of Xu Damao and Da Hu's health problems.

But after that day, both families started brewing traditional Chinese medicine, ostensibly to regulate their bodies.

The neighbors were used to it; after all, the couple, Sha Zhu and his wife, had been married for over a year without children and had been taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate their bodies.

So everyone's used to it, it's become second nature, it's not a big deal.

After all, Xu Damao and Dahu are still very young, so it's good to treat their health problems early.

Three days later, in the steel rolling mill's publicity department, Xu Damao had just finished a meeting with his subordinates and was smoking downstairs.

Just then, someone arrived, and Xu Damao greeted him with a smile:

"Erhu, you're here to see Wang Juan'er again?"

Erhu is Dahu's younger brother. He no longer works at the farm but has been moved to the forging workshop.

Erhu is a strong and sturdy guy with a lot of strength.

In his early twenties, a time when he should be looking for a partner, he took a fancy to a girl named Wang Juan'er from the publicity department.

Xu Damao had helped make connections quite a bit for this matter; after all, they were neighbors, and Xu Damao wouldn't refuse to lend a hand.

However, Xu Damao was not optimistic about the two of them, as he knew exactly who Wang Juan was.

She was fairly good-looking and worked in the publicity department. Because she knew how to dress, she had many suitors in the factory.

It was Wang Juan's behavior that Xu Damao found unacceptable. This girl accepted everything that came her way, and even tried to hook people up by calling it a test.

Xu Damao scoffed at Wang Juan's behavior, saying, "Testing your mother's head my ass, it's disgusting."

However, he didn't expose her, but only reminded Erhu that he couldn't handle this girl.

But Erhu wasn't going to let it go so easily. He'd already given her the gifts, and Wang Juan had accepted them. She clearly had feelings for me.

They're basically determined to succeed until they reach their goal.

Xu Damao wanted to teach Wang Juan a lesson, but his father was a section chief in the factory, and he couldn't afford to offend him.

Erhu will understand once he's learned his lesson.

The neighbors in the courtyard all knew that Erhu was pursuing Wang Juan, and they all had their opinions on the relationship. Some even encouraged him.

Whether you're the section chief's daughter or a staff member in the propaganda department, take her down!

Keep your spirit up, don't embarrass yourself...

With this invisible force supporting them, Erhu had inexhaustible energy.

Da Hu knew perfectly well that it was hopeless, but he couldn't bear to discourage his younger brother, so he decided to let him give it a try.

If we can win, it will bring glory to our ancestors; if we can't, we'll just suffer a little loss.

Faced with Xu Damao's question, Erhu scratched his head sheepishly:

"Hey, Brother Da Mao, it's getting cold, so I'm bringing Juan'er a pair of gloves and a scarf."

Xu Damao glanced at what Erhu was holding and was somewhat surprised:

"A two-piece rabbit fur set? Erhu, that's not cheap, you're really going all out!"

"Hehe, Brother Da Mao, my brother once said, 'You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub,' so you have to be generous when pursuing a girl."

"My monthly salary is 37.5, enough to feed myself and have no family to worry about!"

Da Hu's honest words made Xu Damao feel a little sorry for him, and even deepened his dissatisfaction with Wang Juan.

A two-piece rabbit fur set, and a high-quality one at that, with no impurities, would easily cost over ten yuan.

What did he just say about one person being full so the whole family isn't hungry?

His parents and Da Hu would be furious if they heard that!

You're fucking awesome!

So you live alone all by yourself?

However, Xu Damao didn't want to say anything more and waved his hand at him:

"Wait here, I'll call her for you."

"Thank you, Brother Da Mao."

Wang Juan came out quickly. Her eyes lit up when she received the rabbit fur two-piece set from Da Hu, which showed how much she liked the gift.

It's snow-white and very warm. A girl who owns this will make her female friends around her extremely envious.

Wang Juan is a smart woman. Although she wouldn't agree to date Erhu, she would still express her gratitude.

"Erhu, I really like it, thank you!"

"Hehe, I'm glad you like it. Juan'er, when are we going to officially start dating?" Da Hu was very straightforward and not embarrassed at all. He asked the essential question directly.

Wang Juan's expression changed, and her smile froze.

"Erhu, you're an honest, reliable, and kind man. We're friends!"

On the second-floor windowsill, Xu Damao stood with his hands in his pockets, and after hearing Wang Juan's words, he couldn't help but whisper:

"Tsk tsk tsk... That bitch, her language is really foul..."
